Post by tommykl »

Henri Julien, founder of Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives, passed away yesterday at the age of 84. He will be sorely missed.

That's a pity. They did a fantastic job to last for 5 seasons and did something the likes of Coloni and Eurobrun could only dream of doing: Scoring Points thanks to 2 of the most underrated drivers ever: Moreno and Tarquini. RIP Mr Julien.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

I suppose as a fitting tribute I should get off my arse and send all that extra info to Mischa for the AGS profile. Now has very suddenly become the right time to do it.

Also begins the countdown to when FMecha asks me how I'm going to retcon this out of the F1RMGP canon, as it was with Guido Forti...

Exactly, Diniz. I just thought of that when this news came up.

You shall be missed, Henri Julien. :cry:

I haven't spotted this elsewhere on the forum (Tommy has yet to post this one it seems!), but if I am wrong please merge or delete as applicable.
I remember watching the AGS team in 1980s GPs, where they were usually sub midfield but reliable performers if my memory serves.
& at the risk of awakening the Captain, here's the journo whose name etc. on the subject, with some interesting background in the comments.....

Too bad the American education system seems to be too incompetent to know that. I have learned something.
